Project description:We developed a method using canine osteosarcoma in mouse xenografts to distinguish tumor-derived from host-response exosomal mRNAs. The model allows for the identification of canine osteosarcoma-specific gene signatures by RNA sequencing and a species-differentiating bioinformatics pipeline. An osteosarcoma-associated signature consisting of five gene transcripts was validated in dogs with osteosarcoma. Serum/plasma exosomes were isolated from 53 dogs in distinct clinical groups (“healthy”, “osteosarcoma”, “other bone tumor”, or “non-neoplastic disease”). Pre-treatment samples from osteosarcoma cases were used as the training set and a validation set from post-treatment samples was used for testing, classifying as “osteosarcoma–detected” or “osteosarcoma–NOT detected”. Dogs in a validation set whose post-treatment samples were classified as “osteosarcoma–NOT detected” had longer remissions, up to 15 months after treatment. In conclusion, we identified a gene signature predictive of molecular remissions with potential applications in the early detection and minimal residual disease settings. These results provide proof-of-concept for our discovery platform and its utilization in future studies to inform cancer risk, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic response.

Project description:While recent clinical studies demonstrate the promise of cancer immunotherapy, a barrier for broadening the clinical benefit is identifying how tumors locally suppress cytotoxic immunity. As an emerging mode of intercellular communication, exosomes secreted by malignant cells can deliver a complex payload of coding and non-coding RNA to cells within the tumor microenvironment. Here, we quantified the RNA payload within tumor-derived exosomes and the resulting dynamic transcriptomic response to cytotoxic T cells upon exosome delivery to better understand how tumor-derived exosomes can alter immune cell function. Exosomes derived from B16F0 melanoma cells were enriched for a subset of coding and non-coding RNAs that did not reflect the abundance in the parental cell. Upon exosome delivery, RNAseq revealed the dynamic changes in the transcriptome of CTLL2 cytotoxic T cells. In analyzing transiently co-expressed gene clusters, pathway enrichment suggested that the B16F0 exosomal payload altered mitochondrial respiration, which was confirmed independently, and upregulated genes associated with the Notch signaling pathway. Interestingly, exosomal miRNA appeared to have no systematic effect on downregulating target mRNA levels.

Project description:5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is one of the natural amino acids and a product of the first heme synthesis pathway in mitochondria. Recently, a supplement containing ALA is available in Japan and used for the purpose of the enhancement of ATP synthesis via mitochondrial activity. In humans, the immunomodulatory effect of ALA has attracted attention as a new function of ALA, and its application to cancer, inflammatory disease, and autoimmune diseases are being investigated. In the present study, to evaluate the effects of ALA on canine immunity, we performed in vitro studies using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy dogs. Heme oxygenase-1 protein was expressed in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cells and PBMCs treated with 5-ALA and ferrous sodium citrate (SFC), which showed that ALA works in dogs as well as humans. When PBMCs were stimulated with concanavalin A (ConA), the addition of ALA resulted in a significant increase in interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) produced by ConA-stimulated PBMCs. A comprehensive genetic alteration using next-generation RNA sequences (RNA-seq) was performed. From the result of RNA-seq, ALA enhanced the gene expression of T cell immunity including Th1, Th2, and Th17 subsets. In particular, the IL-17 signaling pathway was significantly upregulated. Then, we confirmed that ALA promoted the production of interleukin (IL)-17A in ConA-stimulated PBMCs. Together, these findings reveal that ALA promotes heme synthesis in mitochondria and enhances ConA-induced T cell immune responses in canine PBMCs.

Project description:In small animals, diarrhoea is a regular presentation, the aetiology of which can be varied, from an isolated self-limiting event to more serious episodes requiring symptomatic and supportive treatment. Chronic diarrhoea, defined as diarrhoea lasting longer than 3 weeks, is a relatively common problem often prompting referral for more detailed investigation. Although the potential cause of chronic diarrhoea includes chronic intestinal parasitism and alimentary neoplasia (specifically lymphoma), the majority of these dogs will be diagnosed with idiopathic canine chronic enteropathy (CCE), previously referred to as idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Of those cases diagnosed with CCE, further subdivision based on response to treatment trials leads to a final diagnosis of antibiotic responsive diarrhoea (ARD), food responsive diarrhoea (FRD) or idiopathic inflammatory bowl disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to compare the proteomes of faeces of dogs with chronic enteropathies and a population of healthy dogs, and furthermore to identifying proteins that might be useful in distinguishing FRD from ARD from IBD.

Project description:Breast (mammary) cancers in human (BC) and canine (CMT) patients share clinical, pathological, and molecular similarities that suggest dogs may be a useful translational model. Many cancers, including BC, shed exosomes that contain microRNAs (miRs) into the microenvironment and circulation, and these may represent biomarkers of metastasis and tumor phenotype. Three normal canine mammary epithelial cell (CMEC) cultures and 5 CMT cell lines were grown in serum-free media. Exosomes were isolated from culture media by ultracentrifugation then profiled qualitatively. CMEC and CMT cell lines shed round, “cup-shaped” exosomes approximately 150-200 nm by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and immunopositive for exosomal marker CD9 using Western blot. Exosomal small RNA was deep-sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq2500 sequencer and validated by qRT-PCR. Deep-sequencing averaged ~15 million reads/sample. 338 unique miRs were detected, with 145 having > ±1.5-fold difference between one or more CMT and CMEC samples. Gene ontology analysis revealed that the upregulated miRs in this exosomal population regulate a number of relevant oncogenic networks. Several miRNAs including miR-18a, miR-19a and miR-181a were predicted in silico to target the canine estrogen receptor (ESR1α). CMEC and CMT cells shed exosomes in vitro that contain differentially expressed miRs. CMT exosomal RNA expresses a limited number of miRs that are up-regulated relative to CMEC, and these are predicted to target biologically relevant hormone receptors and oncogenic pathways. These results may inform future studies of circulating exosomes and the utility of miRs as biomarkers of breast cancer in women and dogs.

Project description:Some dogs respond well to amputation and chemotherapy and are disease free longer than the median 200 days whereas others experience rapid lung metastasis. Microarrays were used to compare primary tumors of dogs with a disease free interval (DFI) >300 days (n=7) to those with a DFI<100 days (n=8). Chemotherapy naïve primary tumors were collected at the time of amputation and archived at the Animal Cancer Center. Arrays were performed on a total of 15 dogs.

Project description:Meningiomas are the most commonly reported primary intracranial tumor in dogs and humans. Canine meningiomas closely resemble human meningiomas in histological appearance as well as biological behavior. Because of the similarities between canine and human meningiomas, dogs have been proposed as models and surrogates for studying and treating human cancers including meningioma. However, little is known about specific pathways and individual genes that are involved in the development and progression of canine meningioma. In addition, there is a paucity of suitable fresh material available for studies of differential expression (DE) of genes in cases of veterinary neoplasia. We report here the use of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) specimens as much as a decade old, to provide RNA suitable for transcriptome analysis using next-generation sequencing (NGS). RNA was extracted from 13 canine meningiomas – 12 from (FFPE) and one flash-frozen. These represented 6 grade I and 7 grade II/III. RNA was also collected from flash-frozen meningeal tissue (arachnoid) from 3 control dogs. RNA from FFPE was of sufficient quality to successfully identify 125 significantly DE genes, the majority of which were related to oncogenic processes. 12 genes (AQP1, BMPER, FBLN2, FRZB, MEDAG, MYC, PAMR1, PDGFRL, PDPN, PECAM1, PERP, ZC2HC1Cc) were validated using qPCR. Among the DE genes were oncogenes, tumor suppressors, transcription factors, VEGF-related genes, and members of the WNT pathway. Our work demonstrates that RNA of sufficient quality can be extracted from FFPE samples to provide biologically relevant transcriptome analyses using a NGS technique, such as RNA-seq.
